Godfrey Kerr Theater Studio, Lewis Arts complex

A staged reading with Princeton student actors of Show All History by Kristín Eiríksdóttir, translated from Icelandic by Larissa Kyzer and directed by Neil Blackadder.

Three childhood friends—Dawn, Becca, and Lily—are reunited after a traumatic incident some 20 years earlier. Seeking some sort of closure or reconciliation, Dawn encourages her long-estranged friends to relive the events of the last fateful evening they spent together as teenagers. But time and trauma have marked all three women in different ways, and they quickly discover that the past is not so easily left behind.

Co-sponsored by Princeton’s Program in Translation and Intercultural Communication. Kyzer and Blackadder are former Translators-in-Residence in the program.
